Mimbres bat and geometric design on a black on tan plate

Ana Trillo de Corona was taught how to make pottery by Elvira Guillen de Escarsega, the wife of Damian Quezada, back in the 1990s.

In the early years of her career she usually worked with red clays and created many jars and wedding vases, many of which were fired black using the oxygen reduction process. Lately she seems to have moved to working with white and tan clays to make plates and bowls.

Ana usually decorates in black (sometimes with some red bits in her design), using Paquimé and Mimbres designs mixed with some contemporary elements. Adrian and Ricardo Corona are her sons. She came to Andrea Fisher Fine Pottery with Adrian once, on one of his regular visits. Ricardo has accompanied Adrian, too. It's nice to put faces to names but we don't always get photos.
